If you trust your instructor then it's probably the right choice for your course. Different course conditions may dictate different grind/bounce options. I have a 48-10, 52-08, 52-12, 56-08, 56-10, & 56-12 and switch them up now and then depending where I play. Most of the time it's the 52-12 and 56-10 as I seem to be able to make them work in most situations.

The only sure thing I would add is, if you're right handed get right hand wedges and vise versa if you're left handed. Trust me on that. As a general rule 50% of the time I am 70% right.

I believe the fitter should know your needs better. The selection of bounce is really personal.

To maximize wedges they should be 4-5 degrees separation. As for bounce & grinds that depends on turf interaction where you play.

My wedge setup is simple
T200 AW 48* 08 F
SM8 52* 08 F
SM8 56* 10 S
SM8 60* 08 M

I don't like a lot of bounce & play neutral to slightly firm courses here in Ks. I'm a sweeper & not a digger with my full swings so less bounce works for me. I really love the S & M grinds around the green as they make shot making easier with a squared face in my opinion.

Hope that helps,

Depends a lot on where you play, and in what conditions... but i don't see a club that will work well for a tight lie, firm lie, or a flop shot. That 60.14K will not really be effective for any of those. Other than that, the set makeup seems right for a steep swing in soft conditions.
